June 2014Publications / Mentions

In addition to the general indemnities, parties to M&A agreements often also negotiate separate ‘‘standalone’’ indemnities - - indemnities which cover specific topics separate and apart from the general indemnities, and usually without reference to an underlying breach of representations, warranties or covenants. This article, written by Goulston & Storrs director Daniel Avery and Lilly Huang, Associate General Counsel with Boston University’s Office of the General Counsel, examines the prevalence of stand-alone indemnities in private company M&A transactions and trends in that usage.
